 My younger daughter introduced me to the (possibly archaic) Scots phrase "hurkle durkle" which means to lie in bed after its time to get up. I would like to see this used more widely. I'd also like to build a political movement around it.

Really hard to build a political movement out of hurkle durkle. I have some experience trying to build one around procrastination. 
 @3ba5878d Just FYI, Black women are waaaaay ahead of you on this one and have already created this movement. Audre Lorde, of course, was an advocate for radical self care but it's really expanded over the decades....
